Discussing English translation of Moomin(children's book) with a Japanese person who brought up "Pine Needles" as an interesting English word she found there.  Out of the blue she said "松葉" in Japanese is not even such a common word, she wasn't sure her young daughter would recognize it in Japanese.


[news1] probably also elevated by names. Such as 
松葉貴大
